SuperBeam is the easiest and fastest way to share large files between Android devices using WiFi direct. You may pair your devices devices using QR codes (with the included QR code scanner) or NFC, if your devices support it.No more clicks and manual approvals for connections. SuperBeam makes file sharing asconvenient and fast as it should have been, because it is already 2013!Xperia U and P users: QR code scanner doesn’t work well on these phones in portrait mode, a fix is being worked on right now. In the mean time, please use the scanner in landscape mode.

Please note:

Instead, submit the error report, email developer, mention @SuperBeamApp on twitter or reply to XDA support thread below with details of the error, and the type of devices you use. I will be more than glad to help.

A note for advanced users
SuperBeam creates an access point using Android’s WiFi direct API’s. This essentially works like hotspot mode in old devices, but it is guaranteed to work on newer devices like Nexus 7. Moreover, this mode allows older devices to connect and receive files without having to support WiFi direct’s peer-to-peer connections.
Also, please note that this mode is currently supported by Android versions 4.1 and greater. On older versions, SuperBeam will fallback to the older hotspot mode.
